‏ Ezekiel 2

1 This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell uponmy face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, andI will speak to you. 2 And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: andI heard him speaking to me. 3 And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provokeme; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day. 4 And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord. 5 Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house,) yet they shallknow that you are a prophet in the midst of them. 6 And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will maddenand will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of theirwords, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house. 7 And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provokinghouse. 8 And you, son of man, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provokinghouse: open your mouth, and eat what I give you. 9 And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book. 10 And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were writtenupon: and there was writtenin it Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
